An interesting article from Business 2.01 where they are speculating that Google is bent on providing wireless access for free to the masses. It’s an interesting article on a variety of levels:

  1. What if it’s true? Wouldn’t it be great if you could be wirelessly connected everywhere you went?
  2. That people are speculating about this stuff can’t be a good thing for internet service providers. Imagine a world in which your primary source of income is removed. Speculating about it is painful much less seeing the reality. Most of us are not faced with the hard reality that the world is changing so fast that entire markets can be created and eliminated inside of a three year period of time.
  3. What fun it must be to be Google. They are in the position now of being able to generate earth shaking rumors with trivial efforts. The ability of Google to generate buzz is pretty much unmatched.
  4. How anxious are you to have Google track your every movement across the globe? Big Brother where are you?
